    "617281": "Be advised that we are extending the deadline by two days. We strive to avoid deadline changes where possible, but given that many users affected by [the submission dropout discussed here](https://www.kaggle.com/c/aptos2019-blindness-detection/discussion/107323#) will not be awake again in time to resubmit by the original deadline this seemed like the fairest option.\n\nThank you for your understanding, I know that this may be frustrating.\n\nWe will not be able to respond to all comments, but rest assured we will continue to monitor the forums and submission run reliability closely.",
    "617283": "I would be great if Kaggle could automatically rerun the submissions that failed do Kaggle's technical issues.",
    "617285": "IMO, this was definitely the right decision for this competition!",
    "617289": "well I guess we have to see some more eyes for few days.. \n\n![](https://www.googleapis.com/download/storage/v1/b/kaggle-user-content/o/inbox%2F991320%2F052268b6494c2a0964e9798b655e9dae%2F5aafb1d97603fc558cffc0c8.png?generation=1567560235854357&amp;alt=media)",
    "617290": "We looked into that and it's not something we're currently set up to reliably do at the last minute.",
    "617291": "sohier I think if you can't provide a stable environment, you shouldn't have a kernel-only competition.",
    "617292": "I'm already tired of this competition. I want to do something new.",
    "617294": "I bet this is something they will consider for future competitions but what were they supposed to do for this competition. IMO extending the deadline was the only viable option. \n\nBut this experience definitely will make me cautious when it comes to joining other KO competitions.",
    "617297": "I feel you...I just feel like now I can diagnose diabetic retinopathy...",
    "617304": "Great! Thanks.",
    "617308": "Great decision . Can work on this competition for 3 more days.. But, I see lot of challenge while submitting the kernels. A kernel which normally takes 35 minutes to complete, is taking more than 9 hrs to complete and throwing out kernel timeout error.",
    "617314": "Since there is really a problem on submission process on the last days, this decision is fair, well done @sohier and Kaggle team! \n\nNote in this thread it is said Sep 7th, but on the timeline it's 8th. I guess 8th is correct.",
    "617318": "I think our manual accuracy can be like 0.8 QWK now 😂",
    "617334": "Discrepancy probably due to time zones. Probably, September 7th in America, and September 8th for you.",
    "617339": "I think this competition may trained many fresh ophthalmologists😪",
    "617445": "This is fair,  several days were just lost due submission errors.",
    "617463": "Kernel threw Exception.\nmy all submissions are unsuccessful. what is the solution?",
    "617512": "I was in the ophthalmologist office today, and I saw retinopathy banner on the wall, I really recognize it before reading the header :D",
    "617544": "Great !  \"The Last Struggling\",  I will enjoy .",
    "617930": "Just to be clear: the new deadline is 11:59 PM UTC on September 7th.",
    "617952": "i welcome this ... many top rankers may feel its waste of time :)..but some who lost the time in outages and not that expert as other top rankers are so for them its worth having 3 more days..",
    "617998": "hirune924 Nothing is stopping you to do that...",
    "619424": "I did some thing, but facing challenges in kernel Challenges, Help from anyone is highly appreciated."
